Library Preparation

OverviewA Z-Axis Belt Drive Assembly (BDA) consists of a pole with belts and pulleys that move one end of the Shuttle Track Assembly vertically inside the library. There are two BDAs in every library (front and rear), each with slightly different overall assemblies. Each BDA has a Housing Assembly at each end of the pole to control the belt movement and tension.

Figure 1-1: Front and Rear BDAs with Shuttle Track Between

This spare kit consists either a front or rear full BDA. Verify you have the correct version before continuing.

IMPORTANT: Overland Storage requires that the BDAs be removed and replaced by an Overland Storage authorized service provider. Improper installation may result in damage which voids

existing warranties.

Prepare Media Drawers for Removal

WARNING: Exercise care when removing the media drawers from the library units. Fully-loaded drawers weigh approximately 58 pounds (26.3 kg). Also, when the drawers are removed, the

inner rails extend several inches beyond the back of the drawers. Tilting the drawers can result in the tapes falling out. Opening several drawers at once is a tip hazard.

AVERTISSEMENT: Soyez prudent lorsque vous retirez les tiroirs de support des unités de bibliothèque. À pleine charge tiroirs pèsent environ 26,3 kg. En outre, lorsque les tiroirs sont

enlevés, les rails intérieurs s'étendent au-delà de quelques centimètres à l'arrière des tiroirs. Inclinant les tiroirs peuvent se traduire par des bandes de tomber. Ouverture de plusieurs tiroirs à la fois un danger pointe.

1. Label all the drawers (so they can be returned to their correct positions).

2. Move the library robotics to the Home position on the floor:

a. At the front panel, select Drawer Access (and password, if active).

NOTE: If the library is partitioned, a partition selection options is displayed before the access option screen.

b. Select the Lo-Left drawer to unlock it.

c. Pull out the drawer a couple of inches and then push it all the way back in.

The drawer automatically relocks.

d. Press Back.

The library scans the drawer and then the robotics drops to the Home position on the floor with the picker facing the correct direction to continue.

3. At the front panel, select Drawer Access (and password, if active) > Unlock All to release all the media drawers.

NOTE: If the library is partitioned, a partition selection options is displayed before the access option screen.

4. Pull each drawer out about 2 inches (5cm).



Power Down the Library

WARNING: Working with a powered NEO 8000e library may cause physical harm and severe damage to the unit’s circuitry. Always power down a library before removing components.

AVERTISSEMENT: Travailler avec un moteur NEO 8000e bibliothèque peut causer des dommages physiques et de graves dommages aux circuits de l'appareil. Toujours mettre hors

tension avant de retirer une bibliothèque des composants.

1. At the rear, move the library circuit breakers to the OFF (“O”) position (Figure 1-3).

NEO 8000e Z-axis BDA R&R Instructions 4 - Reassemble the Library

Front Panel Assembly1. Supporting the FPA next to its normal position, reattach the J3 connector at the top of

the front panel PWA.

2. Insert the J3 cable back into the retainers on the back side of FPA.

3. Supporting the FPA in its normal position, use two new M4x8mm flathead screws at the top on each side to reattach the FPA.

NOTE: Only use the flathead screws when fastening the top of the FPA to the library to prevent interference with the operation of the drawers.

4. At the base of the FPA, use two new M4x8mm panhead SEMS screws on each side to secure the FPA.

5. For the older NEO 8000, reattach the bottom trim pieces:

a. At the bottom from the inside, push the left cover trim piece forward and down to reinsert it.

b. Use one new M3x8mm panhead screw to reattach the trim piece to the FPA.

c. Repeat Steps a–b for the right cover trim piece using a new M3x8mm panhead screw.

6. Reach inside at the top of the FPA and move the J3 cable behind the BDA top tensioner to keep it out of the way of the robotics.

Verify the Library Operation

Once the library is completely reassembled, you need to verify that everything functions.

Power On the Library System1. Reattach all the power cords.

2. Set the library circuit breakers to the ON (“|”) position.

The library automatically powers on and completes a POST.

Test the LibraryTo confirm the library is ready for operation, a series of tests must be preformed. If any test fails, contact Overland Technical Support.

Calibration Test

NOTE: The library uses Calibration Fiducial labels to accurately locate reference points on the Drawer Assemblies, the Fixed Drawer Assembly and the Mail Slot Track Assembly.

Calibration Fiducial Label locations:

• Two on the drive bay bulkhead

• Two on each Drawer

• Two on the Fixed Slots

• Two on the Mail Slot track

NEO 8000e libraries uses the picker to touch these fiducial label posts during a calibration routine to establish the reference points it needs.

1. Cartridges in the immediate area of the Fiducial labels must be removed to avoid any interference when touching or reading the labels:

• Remove the cartridges in the first five and last five slots in rows two and three in each drawer that has cartridges.
